Abstract: We prove absolute continuity of "high entropy" hyperbolic invariant measures for smooth actions of higher rank abelian groups assuming that there are no proportional Lyapunov exponents. For actions on tori and infranilmanifolds existence of an absolutely continuous invariant measure of this kind is obtained for actions whose elements are homotopic to those of an action by hyperbolic automorphisms with no multiple or proportional Lyapunov exponents. In the latter case a form of rigidity is proved for certain natural classes of cocycles over the action.


The program of the authors of studying hyperbolic measures for actions of higher-rank abelian groups is continued and extended. General methods are used and some specific results from the previous papers of smooth ergodic theory, and three new elements are introduced as: the holonomy-invariance, the entropy inequality, the index argument. For actions on tori and infranilmanifolds the existence of an absolutely continuous invariant measure of this kind is obtained for actions where elements are homotopic to those of an action by hyperbolic automorphisms with no multiple or proportional Lyapunov exponents.
